Blog Tour- Ice Creams at Emerald Cove

 

About the book

Escape to the Cornish coast this spring with a trip to the beautiful Emerald Cove, where the sea sparkles in the sunshine, the sand glitters like gold, and true love is in the air. From the bestselling author of Sunrise over Sapphire Bay comes this gorgeously romantic and uplifting tale.

Skye Philips and Jesse Hamilton have a complicated relationship. They’ve been neighbours, best friends and even briefly married. But ever since Skye returned to the beautiful shores of Jewel Island to help her sisters Aria and Clover run their family hotel, she doesn’t know where she stands with Jesse.

When they’re together the chemistry between them sizzles, but with Jesse living in Canada and Skye on the Cornish island she calls home, they’ve kept things casual. Till now…

Jesse is coming to Jewel Island for the annual Pudding Parade and Skye knows this is her chance to tell him how she really feels. But putting her heart on the line isn’t easy when it’s been broken in the past. Will Jesse return her love? Or will she lose him for good?

Everything she's ever wanted can be hers if she's willing to take the chance, but is Skye brave enough to risk her heart once again?'

My Review
I was so excited to get my hands on this latest book by Holly Martin as she is my favourite author, and I was not let down it was absolutely fantastic! I honestly just adored everything single page. The way the author writes these stories is just magical. Every character is lovable and you really want to get to know them all. I really enjoy catching up with the characters we have met before in previous books in the series that we have grown to love. The romance in this was pure passion, I loved it. As with all Holly’s books I NEVER want them to end. This is definitely the best book I have read this year! It has everything you want in a book and more! Perfection!

Blog Tour- The Night We Met


Publication date 11th February 2021
About the book
As a man holds his wife's frail hand, he recounts a journey like no other...

Daniel and Olivia are destined to be together. At least, Daniel thinks this the night he sees Olivia across a sea of people. As he backpacks through Australia, Daniel and Liv continue to cross paths, yet never speak. Until one night, Liv joins Daniel for a drink. And that night everything changes.

Back in London, stuck in a monotonous routine, Daniel finds himself daydreaming of the woman with green eyes and fiery hair. Armed with only a name he vows to find her, yet with every passing moment, Daniel's hopes begin to disappear. What if it wasn't meant to be?

But then fate steps in, and Daniel and Olivia's story can truly begin...

This is a tale of serendipity, missed chances and the power of love.

My Review
As a huge fan of this author’s previous books I couldn’t wait to delve into this beauty. Firstly I’d like to start with how good this book is, I firmly believe that this is the best book to date that Zoe has written. It is extremely emotional so best get the tissues beside you. But a really powerful love story. 
The characters I just adored them, it doesn’t take long before you feel like you’ve known them a whole lifetime. They are such kind people and as a reader you just wish them so much happiness. 
A beautiful heart breaking story one that will stay with you forever.

Did My Love Life Shrink in The Wash?

Publication date 11th January 2021

About the book
Sure, my bedroom gets lots of action. It’s called snoring.

Will and I didn’t have a clue what we were signing up for. It turns out that there’s loads we weren’t warned about:

1) You’ll spend more time spooning your child’s cuddly donkey than your own boyfriend.
2) Communication with your other half will be via post-it notes on the fridge, mainly telling him to buy more milk.
3) If you make the mistake of going to a nightclub you’ll nod off, drool, and be woken up by an angry bouncer.
4) In the middle of the night you’ll be begging Siri for advice on getting your baby to sleep. (Whale music doesn’t work.)
5) Sex is something that happened in another dimension.

But even if I feel like I’m waiting for my motherhood powers to come in the post, at least I’ve got Will. Our old life – festivals, sambuca shots, an actual sex life – might be a distant memory, but we can get through anything together, can’t we?

At least that’s what I thought until, one day, Will walked out on us… If I’m on my own (apart from Siri, obviously) can I do this whole parenting thing? Or I am destined to lose my sanity one sleepless night at a time?

My Review
From the minute I was able to read this I dived straight in as I had read the authors previous books and absolutely fell in love with them, so I was extremely excited to read this. 
This book features the characters which we have gotten to know and love and by this book I felt I knew each of them so well, I wish I’d friends like this bunch of sisters. They are all different but equally unique.  So for this book its mainly Beth’s story, and honestly my heart went out to her. She’s just had a baby an her boyfriend who should be there supporting her is spending less and less time with her and the baby, my heart was aching for her, I just wanted Will to step up and be there for her its a scary enough time having a baby but feeling lonely - oh my I just didn’t want Beth to feel that way. 
There is so many absolutely hilarious moments in this book at times I felt like I didn’t atop laughing, it was great made it fun and easy to read. 
I was gutted when I read that last chapter as I didn’t want this book to end it was that good! I am counting the days until the next book in this series. I’d say this is author is fast becoming one of my favourites.

Blog Tour - I Give It A Year

 

Publication date 7th January 2021
About the book
Her husband's moved out - and her dad's moved in...
Curl up with the page-turning story full of emotion about family, marriage and second chances

It's New Year's Eve, and Iris has just found out that her husband, Adam, is cheating on her. Furious, she kicks him out, and enlists her Dad to move in and help with the children whilst she tries to mend her broken heart.

But her Dad soon starts to display signs of Alzheimer's, and Iris realises that if she loses her partner, she'll be managing an awful lot on her own. Soon, she realises that Adam wasn't the only one taking their marriage for granted, and for the sake of the children she decides to give him one more chance. 

But is it braver to stay than to run? And can anyone fall in love with the same person twice?  

My Review
Well this was my first book that I read in this new year 2021 and my goodness was this a powerful read. The characters in this were fantastic, I really felt for the main character Iris, she really is going through so much, and I just felt like I was there every step of the way of her journey. I know that so many people will be able to relate to this story, or for some this is a real eye opener. It is extremely emotional and heart warming so plenty of tissues needed. 
This book is absolutely outstanding and I am so glad I read it. Definitely looking forward to reading more from tis author.
